R800 3D mesa driver is shortly before release

Lol too late, I nearly bought a pair of HD 5850 yesterday, but judging that I won't even get '''2D''' accelerated desktop in Linux, I gave up the chance and went to SLI GTX 460 instead. Couldn't be happier

and i do not have the money for 1 single 5570 ;-)

"Couldn't be happier"

be sure 'happy' and cloused source hardware (for an opensource os) isn't a good friend ;-)

Ok, nice. But who told you that? Some kind of
"inner voice"? Your uncle who works at amd?
"Some guy in irc"?

Last questions to my new favorite forum oracle:
Will i be able to run glxgears in 6 month on
my (atm) 4 month old HD5850 with the FOSS driver?
(Right now, i'm not even having flicker-free xv
acceleration and i'm still stuck with shadowfb.
And really, this sucks hard.)

PS: I didn't want to talk about fglrx. This
even sucks more. No other "driver" was able to freeze
my pc faster than this piece of binary code.
